# Approval/Declining Process of Guest Passes
### **Moderating Guest Passes**
When creating or managing guest passes, you can enable moderation to control whether a guest pass is approved or declined. This can be configured in two places:
1. **Initial Guest Pass Creation:** Enable moderation during setup.
2. **Guest Pass Settings:** Adjust moderation settings after the guest pass has been created.
Moderation ensures that each guest pass requires administrative review and approval.
***
### **Actions Overview**
#### **Admin Actions** (Backend Operations)
Admin actions occur on the backend and are managed by administrators. These include:
* **Approve:** The guest pass is approved, allowing the guest to attend the event.
* **Refuse:** The guest pass is declined, preventing the guest from attending.
* **Reset to Pending:** The guest pass is returned to a pending state for further review.
**User Actions** (Guest Interactions)
User actions involve the guest’s interaction with the guest pass. These include:
* **Claimed:** The guest has successfully claimed their pass.
* **Unclaimed:** The guest has not yet claimed their pass.
* **Declined:** The guest has declined the pass.
***
### **Viewing Guest Passes in the Dashboard**
You can view guest passes for all events in the **Dashboard > Guest Passes** section. Clicking on the link for a specific event will take you directly to the guest pass listing, with the list already pre-filtered for that event. This helps you quickly find and manage guest passes relevant to your needs.\

### **Email Notifications**
We use automatic email notifications to keep sponsors and their contacts informed about guest pass updates.
#### **Daily Email Schedule**
Emails are sent automatically at two times:
* **9:00 AM**

#### **Admin Action Emails**
Emails are sent to the requester when admin actions are performed:
* **Approved:** Notifies the requester that the guest pass has been approved.
* **Refused:** Notifies the requester that the guest pass has been declined.
#### **User Action Emails**
Emails can also be sent for user actions:
* **Claimed:** Notifies the sponsor when a guest claims a pass.
* **Declined:** Notifies the sponsor when a guest declines a pass.
